Hi all; I'm helping organize a bioinformatics mini-symposium as part of SciPy 2013: Bioinformatics mini-symposia: http://j.mp/Z4xxXB SciPy info: http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2013/about.php This is a great chance for the Python bioinformatics community to connect with the wider Python scientific computing world. SciPy will feature programmers working on IPython reproducible research, scikit-learn machine learning approaches, large scale computing problems with NumPy and lots more relevant to bioinformatics work. This year there will a special symposium track dedicated to bioinformatics and I'd like to encourage everyone to submit abstracts. The deadline is this Wednesday, March 20th: http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2013/speaking_overview.php http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2013/speaking_submission.php SciPy takes place June 24-29th in Austin, TX. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of bioinformatics people there. Please feel free to write me if you have any questions, Brad
